The publication of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" was a revolution that shook not only the scientific community but also the entire intellectual world to its core. The position of humans in creation had to be redefined as a result. Charles Darwin's autobiography—written in 1876 "for my children and their children"—not only reveals the great naturalist's private side but also provides insights into the development of his scientific thinking and the emergence of his theories. For the first time in paperback: the complete edition of the great naturalist's autobiography.
